    Design was barely a "creative" profession until desktop publishing came about. It was more of a Science than an Art. A rote process instead of a creative act.

    It's interesting, because it wasn't until everyone had the power to make a shitty flyer...the ability to misuse fonts, to create really awful, horrid design....not until then did their become a wide-scale appreciation for design, and an acceleration of the evolution of design. It wasn't until people saw and made *bad* design en masse, did people see the talent needed to create *good* design, and it slowly became the differentiating factor it is today.
